How might a project manager assess the contribution of each member of the project team?

During the progress review, how might a project manager assess the contribution of each member of the project team?


You could use simple analysis of met deadlines just to say they have met these deadlines at these times with the tasks split within the group. Make sure you know what member was responsible for what and look at what is done.


You could also possibly do a kind of peer review to simply ask the other team members if their peers are pulling their weight. I was never a fan of peer reviews because they can add tension between teams even when everyone is doing there part.


Id say over all the best way would be to ask for a regularly updated progress report from the team on what has been done and who has done it. If done fairly regularly then you can keep up to date and it will also keep them on the ball because they wont want you to see no progress between reports.
